NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Quarter Ended September 30, 2005 (unaudited) These Notes to Financial Statements reflect events subsequent to December 31, 2004, the date of the most recent Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, through the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. These Notes to Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with Financial Information and Other Information required to be furnished as part of this Report, in particular, (1) Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, with respect to the Company's net interest income, capital requirements and liquidity, (2) Part II, Item 6, Exhibits and (3) the Company's Annual Report - Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, incorporated herein by reference. FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking informational statements, in addition to the historical financial information required by the Securities and Exchange Commission. There are certain risks and uncertainties associated with these forward-looking statements which could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated herein. Such differences are discussed in the section entitled "Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations". These forward-looking statements reflect management's analysis as of this point in time. Readers should review the other documents the Company periodically files with the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to keep apprised of any material changes. NOTE 1 -- Principles of Consolidation Penseco Financial Services Corporation (Company) is a financial holding company, incorporated under the laws of Pennsylvania. It is the parent company of Penn Security Bank and Trust Company (Bank), a Pennsylvania state chartered bank. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies of the Company conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with general practices within the banking industry. NOTE 2 -- Basis of Presentation The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and are considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. They are not, however, necessarily indicative of the results of consolidated operations for a full year. All information is presented in thousands of dollars, except per share amounts. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report - Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. NOTE 3 -- Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for losses on loans and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties. NOTE 4 -- Investment Securities Investments in securities are classified in two categories and accounted for as follows: Securities Held-to-Maturity Bonds, notes, debentures and mortgage-backed securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts computed on the straight-line basis, which approximates the interest method, over the remaining period to maturity. Securities Available-for-Sale Bonds, notes, debentures, mortgage-backed securities and certain equity securities not classified as securities to be held to maturity are carried at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a net amount in a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized. The amortization of premiums on mortgage-backed securities is done based on management's estimate of the lives of the securities, adjusted, when necessary, for advanced prepayments in excess of those estimates. Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities available-for-sale are determined using the specific identification method and are reported as a separate component of other income in the Statements of Income. Unrealized gains and losses are included as a separate item in computing comprehensive income. The amortized cost and fair value of investment securities at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 are as follows: Available-for-Sale Gross Gross Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Fair September 30, 2005 Cost Gains Losses Value - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- U.S. Treasury securities $ - $ - $ - $ - U.S. Agency securities 65,246 131 329 65,048 Mortgage-backed securities 48,796 - 334 48,462 States & political subdivisions 20,696 854 9 21,541 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Debt Securities 134,738 985 672 135,051 Equity securities 7,507 364 100 7,771 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Available-for-Sale $ 142,245 $ 1,349 $ 772 $ 142,822 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Available-for-Sale Gross Gross Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Fair December 31, 2004 Cost Gains Losses Value - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- U.S. Treasury securities $ 5,000 $ 77 $ - $ 5,077 U.S. Agency securities 70,777 510 541 70,746 Mortgage-backed securities 53,782 36 36 53,782 States & political subdivisions 30,910 686 56 31,540 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Debt Securities 160,469 1,309 633 161,145 Equity securities 5,873 392 - 6,265 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Available-for-Sale $ 166,342 $ 1,701 $ 633 $ 167,410 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Held-to-Maturity Gross Gross Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Fair September 30, 2005 Cost Gains Losses Value - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mortgage-backed securities $ 55,706 $ 7 $ 1,059 $ 54,654 States & political subdivisions 29,251 2,466 - 31,717 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Held-to-Maturity $ 84,957 $ 2,473 $ 1,059 $ 86,371 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Held-to-Maturity Gross Gross Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Fair December 31, 2004 Cost Gains Losses Value - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mortgage-backed securities $ 66,019 $ 10 $ 357 $ 65,672 States & political subdivisions 29,249 2,870 - 32,119 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Held-to-Maturity $ 95,268 $ 2,880 $ 357 $ 97,791 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities at September 30, 2005 by contractual maturity are shown below.

During the third quarter of 2005, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita ravaged the Gulf Coast region. Moody's investors service had placed fifty-one (51) debt issuers in Louisiana and Mississippi on its watch list. The Company does not hold any of these securities. U.S. Agency Securities The unrealized losses on the Company's investments in these obligations were caused by recent interest rate increases. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the par value of the investment. Because the Company has the ability to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2005. Mortgage-Backed Securities The unrealized losses on the Company's investment in mortgage-backed securities were caused by recent interest rate increases. The contractual cash flows of these investments are guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. government. Accordingly, it is expected that these securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the Company's investment. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality and because the Company has the ability to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2005. States & Political Subdivisions The unrealized losses on the Company's investments in these obligations were caused by recent interest rate increases. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the par value of the investment. Because the Company has the ability to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2005. Marketable Equity Securities The unrealized losses on the Company's investment in marketable equity securities were caused primarily by recent interest rate increases and other market conditions. The Company's investments in marketable equity securities consist primarily of investments in common stock of companies in the financial services industry. Because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a forecasted recovery of fair value, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2005.

The cost allocated to the mortgage servicing rights retained has been recognized as a separate asset and is being amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. Mortgage servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based on the fair value of those rights. Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on current market rates of interest and current expected future prepayment rates. For purposes of measuring impairment, the rights must be stratified by one or more predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans. The Company stratifies its capitalized mortgage servicing rights based on the product type, interest rate and term of the underlying loans. The amount of impairment recognized is the amount, if any, by which the amortized cost of the rights for each stratum exceed the fair value. NOTE 7 -- Long-Term Debt During 2003, the Bank borrowed $100,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank, in four loans with various maturity dates, to finance the purchase of a mortgaged-backed security. The loans are secured by a general collateral pledge of the Company. A summary of the long-term debt at September 30, 2005 is as follows: Note payable, due in monthly installments of $161, including principal and interest at a fixed rate of 2.73%, maturing March, 2008. $ 4,653 Note payable, due in monthly installments of $253, including principal and interest at a fixed rate of 3.22%, maturing March, 2010. 12,700 Note payable, due in monthly installments of $430, including principal and interest at a fixed rate of 3.74%, maturing March, 2013. 33,705 Note payable, due in monthly installments of $186, including principal and interest at a fixed rate of 4.69%, maturing March, 2023. 26,678 -------- Total long-term debt $ 77,736 ======== The Company has agreed to maintain sufficient qualifying collateral to fully secure the above borrowings.

As of October 15, 2005, $282 has been contributed to the pension plan. The pension and postretirement contribution estimates have not changed since December 31, 2004. NOTE 9 -- Regulatory Matters The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory--and possibly additional discretionary--actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company and the Bank's Consolidated Financial Statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company and the Bank's capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgements by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the Capital Adequacy table below) of Tier I and Total Capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier I Capital to average assets (Leverage ratio). The table also presents the Company's actual capital amounts and ratios. The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are substantially identical to the Company's. Management believes, as of September 30, 2005, that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of September 30, 2005, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) categorized the Company as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as "well capitalized", the Company must maintain minimum Tier I Capital, Total Capital and Leverage ratios as set forth in the Capital Adequacy table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Company's categorization by the FDIC. The Company and Bank are also subject to minimum capital levels, which could limit the payment of dividends, although the Company and Bank currently have capital levels, which are in excess of minimum capital level ratios required. The Pennsylvania Banking Code restricts capital funds available for payment of dividends to the Retained Earnings of the Bank. Accordingly, at September 30, 2005, the balances in the Capital Stock and Surplus accounts totalling $10,840 are unavailable for dividends. In addition, the Bank is subject to restrictions imposed by Federal law on certain transactions with the Company's affiliates. These transactions include extensions of credit, purchases of or investments in stock issued by the affiliate, purchases of assets subject to certain exceptions, acceptance of securities issued by an affiliate as collateral for loans, and the issuance of guarantees, acceptances, and letters of credit on behalf of affiliates. These restrictions prevent the Company's affiliates from borrowing from the Bank unless the loans are secured by obligations of designated amounts. Further, the aggregate of such transactions by the Bank with a single affiliate is limited in amount to 10 percent of the Bank's Capital Stock and Surplus, and the aggregate of such transactions with all affiliates is limited to 20 percent of the Bank's Capital Stock and Surplus. The Federal Reserve System has interpreted "Capital Stock and Surplus" to include undivided profits.

PART 1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Item 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following commentary provides an overview of the financial condition and significant changes in the results of operations of Penseco Financial Services Corporation and its subsidiary, Penn Security Bank and Trust Company, for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004. Throughout this review, the subsidiary of Penseco Financial Services Corporation, Penn Security Bank and Trust Company, is referred to as the "Company". All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. All information is presented in thousands of dollars, except as indicated. Critical Accounting Policies The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Provision (allowance) for possible loan losses - The provision for loan losses is based on past loan loss experience, management's evaluation of the potential loss in the current loan portfolio under current economic conditions and such other factors as, in management's best judgement, deserve current recognition in estimating loan losses. The annual provision for loan losses charged to operating expense is that amount which is sufficient to bring the balance of the allowance for possible loan losses to an adequate level to absorb anticipated losses. Actuarial assumptions associated with pension, post-retirement and other employee benefit plans - These assumptions include discount rate, rate of future compensation increases and expected return on plan assets. Provision for income taxes - Management believes that the assumptions and judgements used to record tax related assets or liabilities have been appropriate. Fair value of certain investment securities - Fair value of investment securities are based on quoted market prices. Loan servicing rights - Mortgage servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based on the fair value of those rights. Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on current market rates of interest and current expected future prepayment rates. For purposes of measuring impairment, the rights must be stratified by one or more predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans. The Company stratifies its capitalized mortgage servicing rights based on the product type, interest rate and term of the underlying loans. The amount of impairment recognized is the amount, if any, by which the amortized cost of the rights for each stratum exceed the fair value. Premium amortization - The amortization of premiums on mortgage-backed securities is done based on management's estimate of the lives of the securities, adjusted, when necessary, for advanced prepayments in excess of those estimates. Executive Summary Penseco Financial Services Corporation reported an increase in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased $82 or 5.1% to $1,697 or $.79 per share compared with $1,615 or $.75 per share from the year ago period. Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased $483 or 10.8%, to $4,960 for three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $4,477 for the same quarter of 2004. Partly, the increase resulted from higher interest on loans due to net loan growth of $12.1 million sequentially from June 30, 2005 and $42.5 million from the year ago period as well as interest rates increases. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net income increased $340 or 8.2% to $4,463 or $2.08 per share compared to the year ago period of $4,123 or $1.92 per share. Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased $1,388 or 10.6% to $14,423 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from $13,035 for the same period of 2004. The increase in net interest income continues in part from net loan growth of $26.3 million from December 31, 2004 and a $42.5 million increase on a year over year comparison, along with increases in interest rates. Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Net interest income, the largest contributor to the Company's earnings, is defined as the difference between interest income on assets and the cost of funds supporting those assets. Average earning assets are composed primarily of loans and investments while deposits, short-term and long-term borrowings represent interest-bearing liabilities. Variations in the volume and mix of these assets and liabilities, as well as changes in the yields earned and rates paid, are determinants of changes in net interest income. Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased $483 or 10.8% to $4,960 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $4,477 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The average yield on earning assets increased 61 basis points, largely due to the increase in interest rates. Also, there was an increase of $41.9 million in average loans from the comparable period of 2004. The net interest margin represents the Company's net yield on its average earning assets and is calculated as net interest income divided by average earning assets. In the three months ended September 30, 2005, net interest margin was 3.62% increasing 34 basis points from 3.28% in the same period of 2004. Total average earning assets and average interest bearing funds decreased in the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to 2004. Average earning assets decreased $11.8 million or 2.1%, from $560.4 million in 2004 to $548.6 million in 2005 and average interest bearing funds decreased $20.4 million, or 4.7%, from $436.5 million to $416.1 million for the same period, mainly due to lower money market and time-deposit savings, as well as reductions in long-term borrowings. As a percentage of average assets, earning assets increased to 96.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from 96.3% for the year ago period. Changes in the mix of both earning assets and funding sources also impacted net interest income in the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. Average loans as a percentage of average earning assets increased from 46.0% in 2004 to 54.6% in 2005, due in part to the increase of new mortgages as well as commercial loans; average investments decreased $61.3 million from 52.3% to 42.3%. Average short-term investments, federal funds sold and interest bearing balances with banks increased $7.6 million to $16.9 from $9.3 and also increased as a percentage of average earning assets from 1.7% in 2004 to 3.1% in 2005. Average time deposits decreased $5.5 million or 4.6%. Average long-term borrowings decreased $9.2 while repurchase agreements increased $4.5. Shifts in the interest rate environment and competitive factors affected the rates paid for funds as well as the yields earned on assets. The investment securities tax equivalent yield decreased 28 basis points from 4.68% in the three months ended September 30, 2004 to 4.40% for 2005. However, average loan yields increased 100 basis points, from 5.38% in the three months ended September 30, 2004 to 6.38% in 2005. The average time deposit costs increased 76 basis points from 2.28% in 2004 to 3.04% in 2005, along with money market accounts increasing 76 basis points from ..78% in 2004 to 1.54% in 2005. Also, repurchase agreements increased 89 basis points from .74% in 2004 to 1.63% in 2005. The most significant change in net interest income has been the growth in our average loan portfolio of $41.9 million mostly in commercial and real estate loans which will have a significant positive impact on our net interest margin. Distribution of Assets, Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity / Interest Rates and Interest Differential The table below presents average balances, interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis and interest expense, as well as average rates earned and paid on the Company's major asset and liability items for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- September 30, 2005 September 30, 2004 ASSETS Average Revenue/ Yield/ Average Revenue/ Yield/ Balance Expense Rate Balance Expense Rate - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investment Securities Available-for-sale: U.S. Treasury securities $ - $ - - $ 5,200 $ 86 6.62% U.S. Agency obligations 115,931 898 3.10% 134,351 1,094 3.26% States & political subdivisions 21,521 232 6.53% 47,062 538 6.93% Federal Home Loan Bank stock 4,806 28 2.33% 5,894 19 1.29% Other 2,768 15 2.17% 567 2 1.41% Held-to-maturity: U.S. Agency obligations 57,581 640 4.45% 70,867 796 4.49% States & political subdivisions 29,251 409 8.47% 29,248 409 8.47% Loans, net of unearned income: Real estate mortgages 219,421 3,442 6.27% 187,013 2,571 5.50% Commercial 43,074 749 6.96% 37,090 465 5.01% Consumer and other 37,300 590 6.33% 33,826 432 5.11% Federal funds sold 9,833 84 3.42% 3,519 14 1.59% Interest on balances with banks 7,096 62 3.49% 5,787 16 1.11% - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Earning Assets/Total Interest Income $ 548,582 7,149 5.21% 560,424 $ 6,442 4.60% - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cash and due from banks 9,486 8,816 Bank premises and equipment 9,184 9,502 Accrued interest receivable 2,973 3,391 Other assets 2,546 3,309 Less: Allowance for loan losses 3,714 3,498 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Assets $ 569,057 $ 581,944 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Deposits: Demand-Interest bearing $ 34,040 $ 50 0.59% $ 32,484 $ 26 0.32% Savings 79,418 70 0.35% 82,997 73 0.35% Money markets 81,359 313 1.54% 89,365 174 0.78% Time - Over $100 26,456 215 3.25% 27,886 164 2.35% Time - Other 87,415 650 2.97% 91,478 517 2.26% Federal funds purchased - - - - - - Repurchase agreements 28,414 116 1.63% 23,876 44 0.74% Short-term borrowings 226 2 3.54% 525 2 1.52% Long-term borrowings 78,747 773 3.93% 87,851 851 3.87% - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Interest Bearing Liabilities/ Total Interest Expense 416,075 $ 2,189 2.10% 436,462 $ 1,851 1.70% - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Demand - Non-interest bearing 87,556 85,225 All other liabilities 1,309 349 Stockholders' equity 64,117 59,908 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity $ 569,057 $ 581,944 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest Spread 3.11% 2.90% - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Interest Income $ 4,960 $ 4,591 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FINANCIAL RATIOS Net interest margin 3.62% 3.28% Return on average assets 1.19% 1.11% Return on average equity 10.59% 10.78% Average equity to average assets 11.27% 10.29% Dividend payout ratio 41.77% 38.87% - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased $1,388 or 10.6% to $14,423 for the first nine months of 2005 compared to $13,035 for the first nine months of 2004. The average yield on earning assets increased 58 basis points, largely due to the increase in interest rates. Also, there was an increase of $42.5 million in average loans from the comparable period of 2004. The net interest margin represents the Company's net yield on its average earning assets and is calculated as net interest income divided by average earning assets. In the first nine months of 2005, net interest margin was 3.54% increasing 42 basis points from 3.12% in the same period of 2004. Total average earning assets and average interest bearing funds decreased in the first nine months of 2005 as compared to 2004. Average earning assets decreased $14.5 million or 2.6%, from $562.6 million in 2004 to $548.1 million in 2005 and average interest bearing funds decreased $20.6 million, or 4.7%, from $438.5 million to $417.9 million for the same period, mainly due to lower money market, time deposits and long-term borrowings. As a percentage of average assets, earning assets increased to 96.5% for the first nine months of 2005 from 96.4% for the year ago period. Changes in the mix of both earning assets and funding sources also impacted net interest income in the first nine months of 2005 and 2004. Average loans as a percentage of average earning assets increased from 44.6% in 2004 to 53.5% in 2005, due in part to the increase of new mortgages as well as commercial loans. Average investments decreased $57.4 million from 52.8% to 43.7%. Average short-term investments, federal funds sold and interest bearing balances with banks increased $.5 million to $15.5 from $15.0 and also increased as a percentage of average earning assets from 2.7% in 2004 to 2.8% in 2005. Average time deposits decreased $11.6 million or 9.9% from 28.2% of interest bearing liabilities in 2004 to 26.8% in 2005. Average long-term borrowings decreased $9.0 while repurchase agreements increased $4.1. Shifts in the interest rate environment and competitive factors affected the rates paid for funds as well as the yields earned on assets. The investment securities tax equivalent yield decreased 18 basis points from 4.63% for the first nine months of 2004 to 4.45% for 2005. However, average loan yields increased 90 basis points, from 5.22% for the first nine months of 2004 to 6.12% in 2005. The average time deposit costs increased 52 basis points from 2.28% in 2004 to 2.80% in 2005, along with money market accounts increasing 60 basis points from ..73% in 2004 to 1.33% in 2005. Also, repurchase agreements increased 70 basis points from .73% in 2004 to 1.43% in 2005. The most significant change in net interest income has been the growth in our loan portfolio of $42.5 million mostly in commercial and real estate loans which will have a significant positive impact on the net interest margin.

To provide liquidity the Company may invest in short-term securities such as Federal funds sold, interest bearing deposits with banks, U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. Agency securities all with maturities of one year or less. These funds are invested short-term to ensure the availability of funds to meet customer demand for credit needs. The Company enhances interest income by securing long-term investments within its investment portfolio, by means of U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. Agency securities, municipal securities and mortgage-backed securities generally with maturities greater than one year. Investments in securities are classified in two categories and accounted for as follows: Securities Held-to-Maturity Bonds, notes, debentures and mortgage-backed securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts computed on the straight-line basis, which approximates the interest method, over the remaining period to maturity. Securities Available-for-Sale Bonds, notes, debentures, mortgage-backed securities and certain equity securities not classified as securities to be held to maturity are carried at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a net amount in a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized. The amortization of premiums on mortgage-backed securities is determined based on management's estimate of the lives of the securities, adjusted, when necessary, for advanced prepayments in excess of those estimates. Gains and losses on the sale of securities available-for-sale are determined using the specific identification method and are reported as a separate component of other income in the Statements of Income. Deposits The Company is largely dependent on its core deposit base to fund operations. Management has competitively priced its deposit products in checking, savings, money market and time deposits to provide a stable source of funding. As the economy shows strength and improves, migration of some deposits may return to the equity markets as consumers become more prone to increased yields. Historically, such changes in the Company's deposit base have been minimal. Provision for Loan Losses The provision for loan losses represents management's determination of the amount necessary to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level that management considers adequate to reflect the risk of future losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio. The process of determining the adequacy of the allowance is necessarily judgmental and subject to changes in external conditions. The allowance for loan losses reflects management's judgment as to the level considered appropriate to absorb such losses based upon a review of many factors, including historical loss experience, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay (including the timing of future payments), economic conditions and trends, loan portfolio volume and mix, loan performance trends, the value and adequacy of collateral, and the Company's internal credit review process. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that existing levels of the allowance will ultimately prove adequate to cover actual loan losses. The quarterly provision for loan losses charged to operating expense is that amount which is sufficient to bring the balance of the allowance for possible loan losses to an adequate level to absorb anticipated losses. Based on this ongoing evaluation, management determines the provision necessary to maintain an appropriate allowance. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, the provision for loan losses decreased to $0 from $114 in the three months ended September 30, 2004. Loans charged off totaled $18 and recoveries were $18 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. In the same period of 2004, loans charged off were $15 and recoveries were $1. In the first nine months of 2005, the provision for loan losses was $122, a decrease from $135 in the first nine months of 2004. Loans charged-off totaled $68 and recoveries of $50 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. In the same period of 2004 loans charged off were $43, offset by recoveries of $8. At September 30, 2005 the allowance for loan losses was set at $3,704 or 1.21% of loans based upon the bank's analysis. Other Income The following table sets forth information by category of other income for the Company for three months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, respectively: September 30, September 30, Three Months Ended: 2005 2004 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trust department income $ 399 $ 372 Service charges on deposit accounts 239 271 Merchant transaction income 1,436 1,698 Other fee income 332 289 Other operating income 158 200 Realized (losses) gains on securities, net - - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Other Income $ 2,564 $ 2,830 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other income decreased $266 or 9.4% to $2,564 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared with $2,830 for the similar period of 2004. Trust income increased $27 or 7.3% from new business and market value increases. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $32 or 11.8%.

Loan Portfolio Details regarding the Company's loan portfolio: September 30, December 31, As Of: 2005 2004 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Real estate - construction and land development $ 12,848 $ 6,805 Real estate mortgages 213,363 196,149 Commercial 42,819 41,560 Credit card and related plans 3,054 2,872 Installment 26,507 25,679 Obligations of states & political subdivisions 8,054 7,111 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loans, net of unearned income 306,645 280,176 Less: Allowance for loan losses 3,704 3,600 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loans, net $ 302,941 $ 276,576 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loan Quality The comprehensive lending policy established by the Board of Directors guides the lending activities of the Company. Loans must meet criteria, which include consideration of the character, capacity and capital of the borrower, collateral provided for the loan, and prevailing economic conditions. Regardless of credit standards, there is risk of loss inherent in every loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb possible losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, based on evaluations of the collectibility of the loans. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as change in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, industry experience, collateral value and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. The allowance for loan losses is increased by periodic charges against earnings as a provision for loan losses, and decreased periodically by charge-offs of loans (or parts of loans) management has determined to be uncollectible, net of actual recoveries on loans previously charged-off. Non-Performing Assets Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest and other real estate owned. The following table sets forth information regarding non-performing assets as of the dates indicated: September 30, December 31, September 30, As Of: 2005 2004 2004 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Non-accrual loans $ 1,496 $ 1,999 $ 2,253 Loans past due 90 days or more and accruing: Guaranteed student loans 380 253 245 Credit card loans 4 5 2 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total non-performing loans 1,880 2,257 2,500 Other real estate owned 122 176 44 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total non-performing assets $ 2,002 $ 2,433 $ 2,544 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loans are generally placed on a non-accrual status when principal or interest is past due 90 days or when payment in full is not anticipated. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is charged against current income. Loans are returned to accrual status when past due interest is collected and the collection of principal is probable. Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued or reduced amounted to $1,496 and $2,253 at September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, respectively. If interest on those loans had been accrued, such income would have been $238 and $265 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, respectively. Interest income on those loans, which is recorded only when received, amounted to $17 and $27 for September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, respectively. There are no commitments to lend additional funds to individuals whose loans are in non-accrual status. The management process for evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses includes reviewing each month's loan committee reports, which list all loans that do not meet certain internally developed criteria as to collateral adequacy, payment performance, economic conditions and overall credit risk. These reports also address the current status and actions in process on each listed loan. From this information, adjustments are made to the allowance for loan losses. Such adjustments include both specific loss allocation amounts and general provisions by loan category based on present and past collection experience, nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall quality, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay. As of September 30, 2005 there are no significant loans as to which management has serious doubt about their collectibility other than what is included above. At September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company did not have any loans specifically classified as impaired. Most of the Company's lending activity is with customers located in the Company's geographic market area and repayment thereof is affected by economic conditions in this market area. Loan Loss Experience The following tables present the Company's loan loss experience during the periods indicated: September 30, September 30, Three Months Ended: 2005 2004 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at beginning of period $ 3,722 $ 3,500 Charge-offs: Real estate mortgages - - Commercial and all others - - Credit card and related plans 13 10 Installment loans 5 5 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total charge-offs 18 15 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recoveries: Real estate mortgages - - Commercial and all others - - Credit card and related plans - - Installment loans - 1 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total recoveries - 1 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net charge-offs (recoveries) 18 14 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Provision charged to operations - 114 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at End of Period $ 3,704 $ 3,600 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ratio of net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans outstanding 0.006% 0.005% - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- September 30, September 30, Nine Months Ended: 2005 2004 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at beginning of period $ 3,600 $ 3,500 Charge-offs: Real estate mortgages 10 - Commercial and all others - 12 Credit card and related plans 46 23 Installment loans 12 8 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total charge-offs 68 43 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recoveries: Real estate mortgages 47 3 Commercial and all others - - Credit card and related plans 2 2 Installment loans 1 3 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total recoveries 50 8 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net charge-offs (recoveries) 18 35 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Provision charged to operations 122 135 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at End of Period $ 3,704 $ 3,600 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ratio of net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans outstanding 0.006% 0.014% - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Management believes the allowance for loan losses is considered adequate based on its methodology. The allowance for loan losses, as a percentage of total loans, stands at 1.21% at September 30, 2005 and 1.36% at September 30, 2004. The allowance for loan losses is allocated as follows: As Of: September 30, 2005 December 31, 2004 September 30, 2004 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amount %* Amount %* Amount %* - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Real estate mortgages $ 1,100 74% $ 1,100 72% $ 1,100 73% Commercial and all others 2,174 14% 2,070 18% 2,070 16% Credit card and related plans 180 1% 180 1% 180 1% Personal installment loans 250 11% 250 9% 250 10% - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 3,704 100% $ 3,600 100% $ 3,600 100% - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Percent of loans in each category to total loans Liquidity The objective of liquidity management is to maintain a balance between sources and uses of funds in such a way that the cash requirements of customers for loans and deposit withdrawals are met in the most economical manner. Management monitors its liquidity position continuously in relation to trends of loans and deposits for short-term as well as long-term requirements. Liquid assets are monitored on a daily basis to assure maximum utilization. Management also manages its liquidity requirements by maintaining an adequate level of readily marketable assets and access to short-term funding sources. Management does not foresee any adverse trends in liquidity. The Company remains in a highly liquid condition both in the short and long term. Sources of liquidity include the Company's bond portfolio, additional deposits, earnings, overnight loans to and from other companies (Federal funds) and lines of credit at the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank. The Company is not a party to any commitments, guarantees or obligations that could materially affect its liquidity. The Company offers collateralized repurchase agreements that have a one day maturity, as an alternative deposit option for its customers. The Company also has long-term debt outstanding to the FHLB, which was used to purchase a Freddie Mac pool of residential mortgages, as described earlier in this report. The Company continues to have $180,363 of available borrowing capacity with the FHLB. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities In the normal course of business, there are outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, created under prevailing terms and collateral requirements such as commitments to extend credit, financial guarantees and letters of credit, which are not reflected in the accompanying Financial Statements. The Company does not anticipate any losses as a result of these transactions. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Balance Sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have expiration dates of one year or less or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Related Parties The Company does not have any material transactions involving related persons or entities, other than traditional banking transactions, which are made on the same terms and conditions as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated parties. The Bank has issued standby letters of credit for the accounts of related parties in the amount of $6,545. Capital Resources A strong capital position is important to the continued profitability of the Company and promotes depositor and investor confidence. The Company's capital provides a basis for future growth and expansion and also provides additional protection against unexpected losses. Additional sources of capital would come from retained earnings from the operations of the Company and from the sale of additional common stock. Management has no plans to offer additional common stock at this time. The Company's total risk-based capital ratio was 18.80% at September 30, 2005. The Company's risk-based capital ratio is more than the 10.00% ratio that Federal regulators use as the "well capitalized" threshold. This is the current criteria which the FDIC uses in determining the lowest insurance rate for deposit insurance. The Company's risk-based capital ratio is more than double the 8.00% limit, which determines whether a company is "adequately capitalized". Under these rules, the Company could significantly increase its assets and still comply with these capital requirements without the necessity of increasing its equity capital. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, enacted in July of 2002, continues to impact the Company. A calculation of public float as of June 30, 2004 determined that the Company was not subject to the accelerated filing deadlines of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for 2004. The Company has calculated its public float again as of June 30, 2005 and determined that it is subject to the accelerated filing rules for the fiscal year 2005. The 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K presently is required to be filed within 60 days of December 31, 2005. However, the SEC is considering a filing deadline of 75 days for companies of our size. In addition, as an accelerated filer, Section 404 of the Act will require that the 2005 Annual Report include an internal control report that contains management's assertions regarding the effectiveness of the Company's internal control structure and procedures over financial reporting. The Company's auditors must also provide an opinion about whether management's assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting is fairly stated in all material respects. This has caused management to document each type of transaction that occurs in the Company, the risks involved in the transaction, the internal controls established to mitigate such risks, information and communication of the results and finally a monitoring of the controls. Affecting all of this is the control environment within the Company. Management has spent an enormous amount of time documenting and testing the internal control processes within the Company utilizing outside consultants to coordinate the planning and documentation phases of this project. Although not subject to the accelerated filing dates until December 31, 2005, the Company intends to file its quarterly reports this year within 40 days of the end of each quarter and filed its 2004 Form 10K within 75 days of year-end. PART 1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Item 3 -- QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The Company's market risk arises principally from interest rate risk inherent in its lending, deposit and borrowing activities. Management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure. Although the Company manages other risks, such as credit quality and liquidity risk in the normal course of business, management considers interest rate risk to be its most significant market risk and the risk that could potentially have the largest material effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Other types of market risks such as foreign currency exchange risk and commodity price risk do not arise in the normal course of community banking activities. Achieving consistent growth in net interest income is the primary goal of the Company's asset/liability function. The Company attempts to control the mix and maturities of assets and liabilities to achieve consistent growth in net interest income despite changes in market interest rates. The Company seeks to accomplish this goal while maintaining adequate liquidity and capital. The Company continues to evaluate its mix of assets and liabilities in response to the changing economy. PART 1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Item 4 -- CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Based on the evaluations by the Company's principal executive officer, Otto P. Robinson, Jr., President and the Company's principal financial officer, Patrick Scanlon, Controller, of the Company's Disclosure Controls and Procedures as of September 30, 2005, they have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls are effective, reasonably ensure that material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared, and identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in internal controls which could adversely affect the Company's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data. Based on information available to them, they are not aware of significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the Company's internal control system. Based on information available to them, they are not aware of any changes made in internal controls or in other factors during the reporting period that could materially affect or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal controls over financial reporting. Based on information available to them, they are not aware of any fraud that involves management or other employees of the Company. Despite these and other controls and procedures, the Company's two hundred or so employees process over 10 million financial transactions every year. The Company's computer systems consist of some 17 million lines of code used in the processing of this financial information. Financial accounting rules encompass thousands of pages of instructions and contain many confusing and "gray" areas. From time to time honest errors in the entry, processing, or reporting of this information are discovered or a dishonest or disloyal employee surfaces. Fortunately, in the past any such errors or discoveries have not been material and therefore we have never had to restate the Company's financial results. The probability is that we won't in the future, but the possibility does exist and the certifications marked as exhibits 31 and 32 are made subject to these contingencies. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1 -- Legal Proceedings None. Item 2 -- Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds None. Item 3 -- Defaults Upon Senior Securities None.
